During an adiabatic process, if the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature, then the ratio of $\frac{C_p}{C_V}$ for the gas is:

A

$\frac{5}{3}$

B

$\frac{9}{7}$

C

$\frac{3}{2}$

D

$\frac{7}{5}$

(JEE MAIN-2024)

Solution

$\mathrm{P} \propto \mathrm{T}^3$

$\mathrm{PT}^{-3}=\text { constant }$

$\because \frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{nR}=\text { constant from ideal gas equation }$

$(\mathrm{P})(\mathrm{PV})^{-3}=\text { constant }$

$\mathrm{P}^{-2} \mathrm{~V}^{-3}=\text { cosntant } \quad . .(1)$

$\because \text { Process equation for adiabatic process is }$

$\mathrm{PV}^y=\text { constant } \quad . .(2)$

$\text { Comparing equation (1) and (2) }$

$\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}}}=\mathrm{y}=\frac{3}{2}$
